Not to be mean or anything but I really don't think he deserves it. To say the least, I think Kerry should be on the team, most of Sidney's tricks are pretty sketchy but whatever.

Well I mean his unboxings, reviews and fingerboarding doesn't make him have the best one.

But he may have it. He's really a cool guy that supports the scene a bunch so he kind of deserves it.

If that's the image that berlinwood wants to be repped by, pfft. Honestly? I'm genuinely shocked :L ''I scam kids, buy berlinwood.''

He's an alright guy, and he'll only get better. Let's give him a break, he fully deserves something like this.

He's only on Berlinwood mate. He quit Redemption.
Quote from Redemption: "Congrats, I'm sad to see him leave but glad Sidney has this opportunity to get on the biggest fb company. Berlinwood is a beast."

The thing is, companies don't sponsor people because they're good. They sponsor them because they're popular, and will be a good way to get their name out there. The guy gets a ton of views on youtube, and that's all that really matters. Look at Bam Margera. Dude can barely skate, but he's popular outside of skating, so he has all the pro models and sponsors that he wants. Or at least he used to.

Bam Margera is actually really good at skateboarding. He has his own shows like 4 of them.

Yeah, compared to your average skater, but not compared to pros. There are a bunch of unsponsored guys out there who are better. I'm just saying it makes business sense, even if we might feel like he's not good enough to deserve it.

I understand. I thought you were saying Bam Margera sucks.

It's all for the the publicity and more videos to come to noob fingerboards saying yea buy berlinwood even though they are overpriced, kicktails are usually a little misshaped, and comes in a huge box.

I agree. He's shocking.
BUT.
He does show, that he enjoys himself, and he shows dedication and love to fingerboarding, and I personally think thats all it needs.

James is right, He's completely dedicated to fingerboarding and thats the most important aspect. I hope from now he will stop trading or actleast stop making those boringl unboxings and focus more on putting out good videos.
